Warner Bros. unveiled Thursday the official trailer for DCU's Chapter One, "Superman".

The superhero movie, originally titled “Superman: Legacy,” also stars Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner the Green Lantern, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, Terence Rosemore as Otis, María Gabriela de Faría as The Engineer, Wendell Pierce as Daily Planet editor Perry White, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Beck Bennett as  Steve Lombard, Mikaela Hoover as Cat Grant, Christopher McDonald as Ron Troupe. and more.

Will Reeve, son of the late Superman actor Christopher Reeve, will make a cameo playing a TV reporter in the movie.

The teaser offers a first look of Corenswet as Superman’s bespectacled alter ego, Clark Kent, reporter for the Metropolis newspaper The Daily Planet. 

There are also several quick shots of Kent’s colleague and Superman’s beloved, Lois Lane (Brosnahan), both at the Daily Planet and with Superman; and of Superman’s arch nemesis, Lex Luthor (Hoult), glowering as he hatches some kind of nefarious plot. 

Additionally, there are a few quick glimpses of Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, as well as Pruitt Taylor Vince as Jonathan Kent, Clark’s adopted father.

All of these characters have been staples of just about every live-action and animated adaptation of Superman thus far. But, for the first time in the modern era of live-action superhero movies, the audience also meet the Last Son of Krypton’s rambunctious canine, Krypto the Superdog, who rescues a bloodied and exhausted Superman after he crashes into the arctic ice. 

There are also quick glimpses of several other DC superheroes making their cinematic debut. 

“Superman” is set to debut in theaters on July 11, 2025, kicking off the rebooted DC Universe under the supervision of Gunn and his DC Studios co-boss Peter Safran.
